Individuals and corporations who donated at least $175,000 over four years were invited to consort with leading Republican leaders including Sen. Trent Lott (R-Mich.), the majority leader, Sen.

There was much to meditate about the future: Sydney and Justin were in the legal custody of a man who had been found liable for the battering--and by extension the death--of their mother. The fact that the estate of Nicole Brown Simpson did not file a wrongful-death suit leaves open an even more macabre possibility: that either or both...
